🐙

MIKE WHEELER in STRANGER THINGS 4.01 | Chapter One: The Hellfire Club requested by @kokomews

mike is a border collie/borzoi mix and will is a netherland dwarf bunny pass it on

time: 3h47m

I feel as though there is a desire to completely dichotomize byler when they don’t need to be polar opposites in order to fit together. They are individuals, but it’s their differences AND their similarities that make their dynamic what it is

when lucas gets praised for “learning his lesson” after season 4 it always rubs me the wrong way because like. he literally did nothing wrong in the first place

"every attempt mike's even made at fighting has failed miserably tho" mike hit billy with a pole to stop him from choking el to death and billy not only fell onto the ground he also happened to effectively release el's neck isn't that interesting

feels so odd to be posting art from wintertime when it's 80F outside

when will is too sleepy in the evening, he makes grabby hands at mike, who picks him up and carries him to bed. will gives him a big kiss as a thank you.

happy one year (and 5 days) to the van scene and jonathan's driving prowess

Us in 2045 when byler is finally endgame

They are subtly hinting at this idea that Will doesn‘t have to say things outright and spell it out in order for Mike to understand because Mike&Will can understand each other without words:

STRANGER THINGS Season 4 Episode 1: The Hellfire Club

Why don’t they just pay their writers they have the money and are deliberately not paying them for no reason

will and mike in the “crazy together” context but in an apocalyptic hawkins au.

mike is a protective boyfriend.

I saw this pic for the first time today, I don't know why I like it so much, it is so dramatic!

this is a take as old as time coming from me i know i know, but. i really do still dislike how offended people get whenever someone calls will soft, weepy, or vulnerable. he is all of those things and there's nothing wrong with that.

he's described as being gentle, soft-spoken, and not like most. he isn't "masculine enough," and so he gets called slurs like f-g, fairy, and queer—homophobia born out of misogyny, because a perceived lack of acceptable masculinity = femininity = gay = bad. he doesn't have a domineering personality. his instinct is to get behind others when there's danger. he doesn't like gross things. he tucks tail and doesn't see his self-defense through all the way, preferring to take it and forgive, even if undeserved. he cries often and openly, both for himself and others. he's a survivor, yes, but he often needs the help and support of others and would not be here, or have that drive to begin with, without them. he's sensitive, artistic, a dreamer, and a romantic.

none of those things cancel out his survivor instinct or his strength. the fact that he's still there, still fighting, and still being true to himself is a shining testament to those traits. not everyone would've been able to come out of what he's experienced thus far with themselves in tact. will is strong because he's soft and he's soft because he's strong. if he weren't a strong person, he would've broken and bent into a jaded, defeated husk of himself, and he hasn't. he's still the same old will at heart, where it matters most.

this knee-jerk "NO HE ISN'T!1!1!" reaction doesn't address the root of the problem, it just reinforces it in a different, less-outright way. will is the softie, the damsel in distress & the harbinger, the lover, the sweet one. there's nothing wrong with that. he faces vitriol in-world for it, and to deny what he is in favor of making him seem "manlier," "harsher," or more "aggressive" just makes it seem like you, on some level, agree that will's softness is a bad thing.

chastising people for calling him soft shouldn't be your tactic. instead, consider asking them why that's such a bad thing to be in their eyes. neither the narrative, nor any of the people in charge of this show, punish will for who he is and urge him to change. it's only the antagonists and their real life counterparts that do.

You’re the Heart

Yea?

Yea.

undervalued character trait of lucas' is his pragmatism, fr. he doesn't worry about the demogorgon until mike puts it on the map, he tells mike that will just went to class early, bc that's the most likely explanation. and then when it comes out will really did go missing, he assumes the worst because that's what's most probable. he's such a realist and it's at times heartbreaking because it'll make him seem optimistic and pessimistic depending on the circumstances and both can turn out equally as sad.

sobbing……..mike having to hit the brakes on the car suddenly and instinctively shooting his hand out in front of will…….
